TO MARCH ON SACRAMENTO
USC Young Democrats Unite
By ELLIOT ZWIEBACH City Editor
LSD is in this year.
So are patterned stockings and Republicans.
But 1967 is definitely not the year of the Democrats, and since last Nov. 8. Democrats have been

TYD President
out, way out, in the nation as well as at USC.
With the election debacle three months behind them, however, and with Gov. Ronald Reagan’s recent controversial dictums. Democrats are coming out of their cubbyholes back into the open air.
As goes the nation, so goes USC. and the Trojan Democratic Club, which had sunk into relative obscurity in the last year and a half, has reappeared, renewed and revitalized, complete with a new name—Trojan Young Democrats.
As if to dismiss any thoughts that TYD will be the stagnant organization that its immediate predecessor had become, TYD will hold its first meeting of the semester tomorrow at noon in 102 Von KleinSmid Center.
The purpose of the meeting will be to organize a delegation to join the California Federation of Students in their march on Sacramento Saturday demanding Reagan's recall.
The individual behind the sudden reappearahce of Democrats at USC is Shelley Linderman, a jun-
ior transfer from Pasadena City College majoring in public administration.
Linderman recognizes that his goal of making TYD a force to reckon with on this campus will not be easy to accomplish “because I recognize that many of the students here are not oriented toward Democratic politics.”
During last semester TDC d i d exist, although they were not heard from too often. The only speaker they sponsored was Thomas Braden, former president of the state board of education, but his talk was jointly sponsored by the university, thus robbing TDC of some of its fire.
The organization suffered a split in its ranks, last semester, Linderman said, because some of the members had become disenchanted with Gov. Brown and didn’t want to work actively for the club.
Serving with Linderman on TYD's executive cabinet are Rene Gascou, first vice-president; Don Reed, second vice-president; Steve Beidner. third vice -president; Frank Van Nostrand, corresponding secretary; and Wendy Thompson, recording secretary.
Linderman intends to present a series of programs of interest to _ all political philosophies and to organize Democratic politics on cam-
pus by endorsing various student issues.
Future speakers will discuss legalized abortion and the draft. The club also is working out details for a series of debates with the Trojan Young Republicans, the first of which will be on Reagan.
Linderman believes that Reagan’s election was one of the best things that could have happened to the Democratic Party and will help solidify it.
“Reagan's ignorance will cause such chaos in the state that the people will reject him in four years if they don't recall him before that.”
A resolution passed by . the TYD says, Reagan “has created chaos in California education and demonstrated his blatant ignorance of California potentials and problems” by deciding to charge tuition and firing UC's president, Clark Kerr.
“These actions are symptomatic of the general trend of Reagan's administration,” Linderman said. “Reagan has repeatedly taken positions when he doesn't understand the eventuar consequences. " stand the eventual consequences."
Perhaps by the end of the se-meseter. Democrats will be as “in” at USC as Republicans, patterned stockings and happenings.

Status, Confidence
Result from Tutoring
By KATHY (.ALLOWAY
A USC tutor can be a status symbol to an elementary school or junior high student, as well as a confi-dence-builder and motivator.
This is the opinion of Nancy Ya-man, Tutorial Project director, who said that the project is looking for new tutors. A table has been set up in front of Student Union, where information and applications are available until Friday. Dorms, sororities and fraternities will be contacted shortly afterwards.
“Each tutor will be developing his own technique.” said Alan Linsley, foimer director of the project.
“Tutoring a child is not a teach-er-student relationship, but a friendship between tutor and student.” said Miss Yaman. A tutor can help build a child's self-confidence and interest in studies- “Sometimes what students need most is motivation,” she said.
A tutor gets his main encouragement from having his tutee come every week. There is quite a lot of turnover, especially between semesters. but there is always a long waiting list of children wishing help in studies. The children come after school only if they want to. Miss Yaman said a review of the children's records often shows both a conduct and scholastic grade improvement during a semester of tutoring.
In addition to meeting with the student for studying, elementary children are sometimes taken on trips to Disneyland and other places of interest. Junior high students may be brought to the USC campus. This semester plans are being made to take the children to plays, concerts. science labs, or to other places of individual interest at USC.
One of the most important aspects of the program, according to Miss Yraman and Linsley, is the commitment a tutor has to his tutee. He
ZBT Grant Given USC Student
A USC student. Ernest Hales, has won the Lawrence Kantro Memorial Scholarship presented each year by his fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau.
Hales, a senior in pre-med. was one of two Southern California students to win the $390 award which will go toward his tuition this year.
The national scholarship award was presented to Ha1“s by the executive offices of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity. Executive Secretary Barry D. Siegel issued the list of award winners and explained that the Lawrence Kantro Memorial Scholarships were just two of many scholarships presented by the ZBTs.
The scholarships are all cash a-wards and are presented to students throughout the nation who are members of the fraternity.
Applications are received from ZBT students throughout the United States and Canada. The Scholarship Selection and Loan Committee of ZBT decide who will receive the scholarships. This committee acts in behalf of the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation, Inc.
should always come if he has signed up. so as not to disappoint the child
The tutor's challenge is to make contact with his tutee in whatever way he can. As each child is different. the tutor's technique must be different. Linsley said.
The lack of communication which a child has with older people or his classmates may inhibit his learning ability, so that a tutor must try to form a friendly relationship to overcome this problem. Miss Yaman said.
“Each tutor will be developing his own technique,” Linsley said. If a tutor has become a status symbol, “it proves the child has accepted the tutor as a friend.”
Tutors help students Monday through Thursday, 3 to 5 p.m., one or two days per week. Those who would like to tutor at other hours can contact the project office, where they will be connected with a VISTA representative. The tutorial project has also planned to add high school tutors to work with college tutors this semester.
USC Flattened in Pancake As UCLA Gobbles on to
By MARY MILLER Feature Editor
“I'd hate to be stranded on a desert island with that guy - when food is scarce—you could potentially lose an arm or leg.”
This candid comment by an innocent bystander appropriately describes the seventh annual Pancake Eating Contest between USC and UCLA — it was a fierce battle from the first drool to the last belch.
When the final count was in. UCLA won a not so impressive victory eds^ng out the Trojans by only a few platters.
The Bruin's success depended on an eating technique that was almost dull — they matted 10 pancakes together, folded them over and ate them like hotdogs.
The Trojans, however, weren’t so clinical. They were up to their collective elbows in butter and syrup as they rolled soggy pancakes into balls and stuffed the wad into their mouths.
At one point in the game, the entire Trojan team stood up and did knee bends to let off pressure and perhaps aid digestion.
As the minutes ticked off, spectators yelled encouragement to the team “Hurry up, man, thait skinny little UCLA chick over there has already eaten seven plates.”
Unfortunately for USC that skinny little chick' consumed two more plates full of dollar sized pancakes and was proclaimed champion. She and her partner ate 161 pan-

cakes between them—91 for the 102 lb. lady and 70 for her 210 lb., 6’6” boy friend.
The USC team consisted of Butch Nungesser. Bob Klein and Steve Ponder, all members of Beta Theta Pi. Their eating partners were , Corinne McClain. Gamma Phi Beta; Pat Philbrook, Kappa Alpha Theta and Debbie Westlund, Delta Gamma.
Klein, the Trojan team champ, plays end for USC and mashes opposing linemen when he’s not mashing pancakes. At one point in the game, a newsman shoved a microphone in Klein’s face and accused him of pulling a stall on the Bruins. “Can't talk now. I'm eating,” Klein muttered.

their brothers to “Swallow, don’t chew” and ‘Let it slop over. Neatness doesn’t count. Just mash ’em up and shove ’em in.”
Last year's champion. Sherri McGrath, a math major, blamed the Trojan defeat on faulty eating techniques1. “They should have eaten them dry. All that goop doesn’t help a bit.”
Miss McGrath estimates it took her two days to recover last year after eating her way through 127 pancakes. Or as she said, “I didn’t eat breakfast for weeks.”
This annual feed at the International House of Pancakes in Hollywood is part of a nation-wide contest. The top eater wins a, trip to New York or San Francisco.
According to ancient mythology, a Titan is a giant, a huge powerful being that stands out from all others. This definition aptly fits both the motion picture. “The Titan." and its subject. Michelangelo.
“The Titan" will be presented Monday at 2:30 p.m. and 3:15 pm. in Fisher Art Gallery Admission to the film is 50 cents for students and $1 for all others.
The film is being presented as a benefit for the Committee for the Repair of Italian Art (CRIA).
“The Titan” is the story of the life of Michelangelo through his works. One critic called the film “a masterpiece composed of masterpieces.”
Directed by Richard Lyford, “The Titan” was first shown in 1949. In 1950 it won the Academy Award for the best documentary film.
The picture, on loan from the producer. Robert Schyder, is narrated by Fredric March.
“T h e Sights & Sounds of Ferrante & Teicher," featuring the nation’s number one two-piano team, will be presented Friday night at 8 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium.
by Ferrante & Teicher. They have sold over 15 million records and have won 10 gold record awards, seven albums and three singles that have sold a million copies.
Following their first big hit, "Theme from the Apartment,” the duo continued with other successes, which include “Exodus.” “Tonight,” the theme from “Cleopatra,” “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” “Khartoum” and “The Bible.”
They have made several TV appearances with Danny Kaye. Ed Sullivan. Perry Como, Steve Allen. Garry Moore, Dean Martin, Johnny Carson and others.
In “The Sights & Sounds of Ferrante & Teicher,” the two will combine their spectacular piano talents and wit for the concert.
Circumstances brought the two nerformers together to form the two-niano team. Ferrante, a native of New Yr o r k City, and Teicher. born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, were both prodigies who started picking out tunes on the piano when they were about two years of age.
They met when they both registered at the Juilliard School of Music when they were six. During this period they worked together with the same teachers, studying theory, composition, orchestration, conducting and piano ensemble.
In the beginning, they did only duets at one piano. Later they began to realize how much more could be done with two pianos. They received considerable encouragement, but when they graduated from Juilliard. they discovered that there was little work for piano teams.
Their recording of the theme music from the motion picture “The Apartment” lifted them from relative obscurity to the first plateau of their popularity as performing artists.
It was their 20th album, yet it was the first with a full orchestral accompaniment. The album sold a million and a half copies—six times over all previous record sales combined.
Today, nearly every jukebox in the nation features popular singles
